FOREWORDS.

he history of shorthand is a story of progress and improvement, 
and the greater part of that progress and improvement has been 
made in the last fifty years. 

To the pioneer Isaac Pitman we owe our present phonographic 
systems of shorthand. However much we may deplore the apparent 
shortsighted policy attributed to him in later years ; however much 
we may dispute his right to the title of Inventor of Phonography ; 
however much we may assert the superiority of offshoots of his sys- 
tem, over the original; however much we may condemn his radical- 
ism, his frequent changes, his apparent inconsistencies; and however 
much we may press the claim of selfishness in attempting to prevent 
or crush rival authors in his own country, while enjoying all privi- 
leges of competition in this country; the statement still remains, 
and will always be incontrovertible, that to Isaac Pitman, English and 
American shorthand owes its present status. It was Isaac Pitman 
who developed the idea of a perfect sound-representation, which 
others before him had seen "as in a glass darkly." * To his energy 
and perseverance, we owe a debt of gratitude, which can never be 
repaid, and to him we yield precedence in the long roll of stenograph- 
ic worthies. But he left much which remained to be discovered or 
elaborated, and to the later efforts of Reed, Longley,Benn Pitman, Gra- 
ham, Munson, and others, we owe much of the present efficiency of 
shorthand. But to Daniel L. Scott-Browne we may credit the great- 

* Many partially or wholly phonetic systems existed previously to Pitman's. In this 
country those of Bailey (1819), which was purely phonographic, and Towndrow (1831), 
which was mostly so, are notable examples. 



IV PHONETIC-SYLLABIC DICTIONARY. 

est advance in phonography since its inception ; for it was he who first 
carried out rationally, though unfortunately not completely, the all-im- 
portant principles of syllabication and analogy. It is the perfect carry- 
ing out of these principles which makes shorthand exact and scienti- 
fic. The principles of the Pitman system and its allied methods de- 
stroy the possibility of carrying out these principles completely, and 
in Simplified Phonography alone can they be always consistently 
applied, for the -eason, that Simplified Phonography was adapted to 
these principles, while in all other systems, the attempt has been made 
to adapt these principles to the system. 

We believe, however, that the writers of any system would do well 
to replace the irregular, inconsistent, illogical style of writing, which 
may be the shortest, or which allows the writing of derivative words 
entirely different from the root or primitive word. 

The great drawback to the complete utilization of the principles 
of analogy and syllabication, has been that no existing dictionary 
could be taken as an authority. The division of words into syllables 
in American dictionaries are given without regard to the derivation 
or etymology; in English dictionaries (those published in England) 
while the divisions are largely superior in this respect, to American 
dictionaries; still, the fact that the language is so unphonetic, tends 
greatly to confuse and perplex the student. 

Recognizing the need of a dictionary which should give the cor- 
rect phonographic or consonantal representation of words, we have 
prepared this book, with the hope that it may prove serviceable to 
all who look upon shorthand as something in itself worthy of study, 
aside from its more practical advantages, and especially to those who 
are ambitious to make their favorite system, whichever it may be, 
capable of exactitude. 

We believe it will be of value to every teacher or student of pho- 
nography, and to that end, we have spared neither care nor labor, 
to make it accurate. It cannot, of course, be complete ; we offer it 



PHONETIC- SYLLABIC DICTIONARY. 



as a step only towards that completeness which we must leave for 
others to accomplish ; but we have endeavored, in the space to which 
we have been limited, to give all the important words which would 
be likely to occur in actual work, and we hope that the careful study 
of this book will be sufficient to enable its users to write all which are 
not given, in analogy with those it contains. Beyond this, we ask 
simply the indulgence of the user. In all cases where the syllabica- 
tion would be doubtful, we have given the authority for the particular 
form we adopt, believing it will make the book more valuable ; and 
in some cases, where authorities differ, we give two forms, either of 
which may be used. If the book shall serve the purpose for which 
it is intended, we shall feel amply repaid for our labors.

TO THE USER. 



A 



s some systems of shorthand have signs for sounds which others 
have not, it is necessary to provide for this difference. 

As "Simplified Phonography," theBeale "method," was the first 
to carry out completely and consistently the principles of syllabica- 
tion and analogy, it has been deemed proper that the consonant 
sounds and combinations recognized by that system, should be used 
as a basis, and it may need a few words of explanation, to make every- 
thing clear. Simplified Phonography has the following consonant 
signs which some other systems have not : 

Ct X Q Wh 
Systems which do not have these signs, should substitute for them 
as follows : 

Kt Ks Kw W 

Wherever two consonants are represented by one sign, it is placed 
in parenthesis ; also, combinations which are represented by prefix- 
or affix-signs, are placed in parenthesis ; thus 

Catch=K(ch) Caution=K(shn) 

Syllables are separated by hyphens ; but affix or prefix signs are 
not separated from the syllables with which they are written ; thus 
Deviation=D-V-(shn) Division =D-V(shn) 

A large class of words like atone, ablaze, aggrieve, etc., which 
are identical in consonant representation with the roots, lone, blaze, 
grieve, etc., are not given, in order to economize space, and search 
should be made under the latter class, the vowel syllable not being 
represented in most systems. In the same way, words like dis-tract, 
dis-pose, in-tend, insight, etc., are not given, since they would be 
written in analogy with tract, pose, tend, sight, etc. Other neces- 
sary remarks will be given as foot-notes. 



Vlll PHONETIC-SYLLABIC DICTIONARY. 



KEY TO SYLLABIC REPRESENTATION. 

J\ HYPHEN at the beginning indicates the word begins with a 
vowel syllable, (that is, a syllable consisting of a vowel sound only) ; 
a hyphen at the end means that the words end with a vowel syllable ; 
all other hyphens are used for the purpose of separating syllables. 
Remember that each consonant syllable (that is, each syllable con- 
taining a consonant) should be written in such a way that it could 
stand alone ; no consonant syllable can consist of a hook or circle.

fin many systems it is customary to omit the second ;«, and it is to be understood 
that the representation of m after com- and n after con- is optional. As com and con 
are prefixes and represented by signs in most systems, only the phonetic form of the rest 
of the word is given. When the rest of the word is a complete word when written alone, 
as con-form, it is not deemed necessary to give it, as it may be found in the proper al- 
phabetical order, 

JThe prefix syllables com and con will be represented by a hyphen, to save repetition.

SPE CIAL NOT ICE. 

IN THE preparation of this book, which has occupied about twice 
* the time anticipated, and resulted in a volume about twice as 
large as proposed, great care has been given to the selection of such 
words as may be the most likely to occur in any writing. Including 
derivatives, nearly twenty-five thousand have- been included ; but, as 
it is more than probable that there will be omissions of important 
words, and, as we intend to publish in time an appendix to contain 
medical and legal words, and new scientific and technical words 
which may not be included in this work, we desire all who use this 
work, whenever they have occasion to write a word which they can 
not find herein, to write it on one of the blank pages following this. 
At any time, the authors will gladly give the correct outline for such 
words, and when we are ready to publish the appendix, we will be 
glad to present a copy of it free of expense to each one who may as- 
sist us by giving us lists of such words as are found in this way. A 
few errors also may have crept through, and with the purpose of cor- 
recting same we shall be pleased to receive any inquiries concerning 
outlines which may seem doubtful to those using this book.
